As for even bothering with blame . . .
. . . forgot to add that it should be done only to the extent that it offer instruction to us for the future.

FW winds up and delivers a hanging curve . . .
. . . and the Wrtier hits it out of the park!
You want to talk about presidents authorizing kidnapping, torturing and killing of Americans? How about Elian Gonzales and the Waco massacre, both fruits of the Bubba administration?
As for Gorelick and her Wall, it was that very claim of power that let the wall be erected. And to set things straight, she was not claiming that power for herself, she was defending Bubba's claim of it.
Blame Bubba first? Not when it isn't necessary. For example: The emerging threat of Iran can't be blamed on him, not entirely anyway. Chalk that one up to Mr. Peanut and his tolerance of the rise of Khomeni even as Americans were held hostage for 400-plus days. Whoever is to blame for what - far more honorable to place blame wherever it does belong than your version of Blame Bubba First, which is Blame Bush Always.

I for one have never been much to blame anyone for what goes on
in government. How about just letting the guy in office now do what his predecessors did? That's the only fair way to do it.

Why wouldn't the unitary executive have the authority ...
to kidnap, torture or kill Americans in the name of "national security?" By the president's own words, such a project would be super classified and anyone who leaked of the program's existence would be doing a "terrible disservice" to the country and aiding the terrorists.
How can Jamie G on the one hand be accused of claiming the same executive power as King George and be blamed for the wall that seperates law enforcement agencies from sharing information????
I guess this is all part of the Blame Clinton First strategy.
